Gothenburg Book Fair: KvinnSam is digitising!

Kvinnliga Medborgarskolan vid Fogelstad (The Women's Civic School at Fogelstad) was founded in 1925 with the aim of educating women in citizenship after the introduction of suffrage. Now women were to take their place in public life! Just in time for the school's 100th anniversary, the archive has been made freely available thanks to a major digitisation project at KvinnSam. Three project collaborators discuss the history of the archive and new opportunities for research in this important archive. How did the schools archive end up in Gothenburg? What has been discovered during the digitisation process? How can the archive be used and explored by the public?

Participants: AnnaLena Bergquist, Assistant Director, KvinnSam, Humanities Libraries, University of Gothenburg Library; Christa Shusko, PhD, Digitisation Assistant, KvinnSam, Humanities Libraries, University of Gothenburg Library.

Moderator: Rachel Pierce, PhD, Research Coordinator, KvinnSam, Humanities Libraries, Gothenburg University Library.

Please note! The panel will be held in swedish.
